Moore, filling in for Casey Scheidegger, scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth and held Homan to just one in the 10th. Since the traditional extra ends are not used in this event, Moore sealed the victory by finding the rings with her draw on the button after Homan’s throw fell short. Second seed Caitlin Laws also advanced to the final four in the singles knockout by defeating No. 10 Penny Barker 9-4. Fifth-seeded Jennifer Jones edged No. 13 Selena Sturmay 11-9 and top-seeded Kerri Einarson doubled No. 8 Kelsey Rocque 10-5. In the men’s draw, Edmonton’s Brendan Bottcher defeated Saskatoon’s Colton Flasch 10-3 to earn a spot in Saturday’s semifinals against Matt Dunstone of Kamloops, BC. Dunstone beat Glenn Howard of Pendenguissen, Ont., 8-7. Brad Gushue of St. John’s, Nfld. will meet Winnipeg’s Reid Carruthers in Saturday’s other semifinal. Gushue topped Toronto’s John Epping 8-4, while Carruthers dismantled Calgary’s Kevin Koe 8-6. Play continues through Sunday at Willie O’Ree Place.
